Just a few days left to register for biology competition

The deadline to enter the USA Biology Olympiad is Feb. 4. USABO is open to students in grades 9-12 who are nominated by their schools.

Participants will be given a multiple choice exam at their school. Those who score in the top 10 percent on the first exam are given a second exam, also administered at their school. From these exams, 20 finalists are chosen for an intensive training program at Purdue University. Four students from these 20 will ultimately represent the United States at the International Biology Olympiad.
